THE NEBRASKA RESOLUTIONS.

AhG NADhAShA hEbOLUIlONSs
The following resolutions passed both
houses OF the Legislature by a
unanimous vote, and were immediately
oabled to MIR. Gladstone and Mr.. Parnel:
WHEREAS, The government of Great Bri-
taln, IN defiance of the wishes of the Irish
people and of the expressed will of the people
OF W ales and Scotland and of the democracy
OF England, deny the Irish people responsible
government. and now threaten them with
the lnfiiction OF laws that will trample on
every vestige of personal and constitutional
hDerty, and must only end in bloodshed, II
not In the ruin of the Irish people; and
WHEREAS, The IRISH people have always
Deen steadfast and faithful friends of Amer
can liberty, lighting for It's achievement and
uylng Tor It's preservation, and so bound up
with us by ties of blood and honorable men,
ories that our hearts are greatly moved by
thelr noble struggle for human freedom there
fore,
Resoloed, That we condemn the Irish policy
OF Lord Salisbury and his Cabinet as at var
ance with every principle of constitutional
law and justice, as inhuman in conception.
and tending not only to injure the people of
ireland, but to imperil the safety of the Brit
lsh Empire and to estrange the good will and
friendship of the American people, who have
never sanctioned policy that conflicts with
justice and liberty.
Rfs0loed, That we extend to Mr.. Parnell
and his co-laborers, and to the Irish nation,
our heartfelt sympathy and encouragement
TO continue their gallant struggle until under
the &gis of national and responsible gov
ernment Ireland shall once more enjoy peace
and happiness.
ResOlved, That we honor the noble stand
taken by Mr.. Gladstone and the enlightened
democracy of Great Britain, and express our
confidence that their principles of justice and
liberty to Ireland will prevail over the bar
barous and unrighteous policy of the Tory
government.
ResoIyed, That copies of these resolutions
be cabled to Hon. Charles Stuart Parnel
and Hon. William E. Gladstone, House OF
Commons, London.
SYMPATHY FROM ILLINOIS.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, March 29.-In the
House to-day a resolution was adopted

OLD DOMiNiON's SUIT.

The knights of Labor File Their An
swer to the Company's Bill.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Louis e. Post
filed yesterday with the Clerk OF the
United States Circuit Court the answers
of James 4. Quinn, Timothy b. Putnam,
Patrick MacGartland, John j. Mckenna
and James McGrath, Knights of Labor,
against whom the Old Dominion Steam
ship Company brought suit for $4,000
damages, and who were held in bail for
trial. The case grew out of the boycott
of freight handled by the company.
In their answers Messrs. Quinn, Put
nam and MacGartland deny all
the other allegations and claim that the
longshoremen were "locked out" by the
company because they refused to accept
reduction of wages; that the employees
were paid by the hour only, and were
under no contract for any term OF service
whatever; that the longshoremen acted
in pesceable and orderly manner for the
purpose OF maintaining the rate OF wages
OF their craft, ana that they the defend
ants only acted as mediaries to settle
the dispute. Messrs. Nckenna and Nc
Grath admit being officers Of the Ocean
Association of LOngshOremen, and claim
that they were justified in their actions,
being under no contract to the Old Do
minion Company. The defendants ask
for Judgment dsmissing the case with

EARTHQUAKE PHENOMENA.
Capt. Dutton TO Read Paper on the
Recent Disturbances.

Capt. Dutton TO Read Paper on the
Recent Disturbances.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Capt. Clar-
ence Z. Dutton, Chief OF the Bureau Of
Volcanic Geology of the Geological Sur
vey, will read paper at the next meet
ing of the National Academy, which takes
place the third week in April, embodyiDg
the results OF the study of an immense
mass OF data upon the Charleston earth
quake. He does not propose going beyond
wel-prOven facts as to the nature, origin
and influence OF seismic phenomena, but
he believes tnat the material in hand will,
when fully worked up, add much to the
mass Of human knowledge regarding the
foci of the disturbances, rate OF the mo-
tiOn of earth waves and kindred
points of scientific interest, and
that it Will be especially valuable in sug-
gestions Tor observations and study Of
future phenomena. The advance made
latterly in respect to the knowledge OF
earthquake phenomena may be illus
trated by single point. The record rate
OF motion Of earthquakes OF history varies
from 800 to 800 mitres per second. The
data upon the Charleston disturbance
proves cOnclusively that its earth waves
travelled between 1000 and 5000 mitres
a second, while French journals at hand
containing observations upon the Riviera
shocks give rates almost as high. 1t is
not to he supposed that modern earth
quakes are more energetic than their
predecessors, but IL is certain that mod
ern meti Is and opportunities give safer
raSults.

which she became leaky and drifted off
